BSOD issues, please help

Hello,

I have struggled with this issue for months now. I fought through the errors as they were less frequent but now I get BSOD with these various messages:

IRQL_not_less_or_equal
Memory_management
Bad_pooler_head

...and more I cannot recall. All my hardware/software is legit, being legally-acquired and owned by myself.

Using an Alienware Aurora machine, Specs:
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 5800+ 3.00 Ghz
- RAM: 4.00 GB

Really becomes an issue mainly when playing video games, but now happens even when computer is left idle.

I would appreciate any help on this.

The reports gave varying causes for the problem. This is usually caused by a harware problem. Lets start with a memory test.
